While at present the great rush oi Fexcursioulsts goes past the Edel they
 are seeking, to the shores of the beau
 tiful and broad Pacific, the time is not
 far distant when the reaction will
 bring the overflow into Arizona with a boom even greater than tkat which
 California is now enjoying We can eveu now witness the beginning of this turn in the tide and from this slender stream the flood will speedily follow. When the grand irrigating schemes now under way are completed, a few artesian wells sunk, and the fact dem. onstrated that our land would be a wonder if even placed amid the mar
 velous resources of Southern Califor- mia, people will think it strange that they had,n before discovered Arizona. It possesses every element of greatness and prosperity, and it's crude conditions can be easily made to yield to the shapsly moulding of intelligent hands and well directed energy. From the mountain ranges of central Arizona ts its southern boundary line, the roses will be made to bloom at all seasons of the year and many thousands of happy homes will spring up like magic from the seemingly barren plains
 This metamorphosis is the irrevocable destiny of Southern Arizona, and the occult mandate will be obeyed sooner than many of our people expect. The key to all this prosperity is the devel- opment of plentiful water supply, and this problem is one of easy solution. It is known that vast bodies of water exist in subterranean channels, end most anywhere can it be reached by the ordinary methods employed. It therefore becomes only a matter of business enterprise to bring it to the surface in quantities sufficient to per form the magical service required of 1t. A knowledge of these facts should
 inspire our own people on to the prac- tical demonstration of the possibilities of this section, by which our visitors may judge of it's advantages and be induced to settle amongst us.-Citizsn.

It will, without doubt, require some little time to get the horticultural and viticultural interests of Southern Ari zona on smooth, working basis, but when that time does come, and it will come as sure as little apples were ere Ated for useful purpose, the founda- tions of Hades will pop on the question of profitable fruit raising. We'll take the first market-the very cream of prices, so to speak, because we can supply the markets with ripe fruits from four to six weeks sooner than any other place in Uncle Sam's dominions, and our oranges and lemons are hand somer and better. This thing has been tested sufficiently to enable us to speak advisedly. Another thing that will initiate in favor of this part of Gods footstool, is the fact that those who secure foot hold on the rich lands of our valleys, are not golng to divide up 80 as to leave themselves only a little seven by nine patch of oranges with potatoes and beans between rows, but will retain sufficient land to enable them to produce variety of commod- ities for market. Work is progressing all around and when things get fairly under way the owner of a Southern Arizona fruit farm will not find it nec- essary, as fruit raisers in some other places do, to squeeze nickle until the internal visccra of the eagle thereon, are unable to perform their usual functions.

The operations in. raisins culture just began in the Salt River valley by Robt. McPhsrson, the pioneer and most successful raisin grower of the Pacific Coast, augurs well for South srn Arizona. As MT. McPherson is . thoroughly practical man, and has made special study of soil and con- ditions necessary to success in raisin culture, his investment may De con sidsred pretty conclusive that the proper conditions exist in an eminent degree. He already has a section of land planted to the raisin grape. He will bring with him to his new field of operations, his justly high reputation as raisin maker, and this will have no little influence in bringing South ern Arizona to the fore as one of the best raixin sections on the coast.

old government burying ground at the old Fort across the river is a conspicuous object to all passers by conspicuous for the utter neglect which marks it, and its total dilapidation. The luxuriant growths of careless weed" over and around the graves is a fitting type of the careless attitude of the government toward its dead who were unfortunate enough to be buried at Yuma. Several officers and many private soldiers are buried here, be- sides a number of citizens of this town who were in government employ. It would be a humane act on the part of the government to have neat fence put around those graves and the, grounds cleared of weeds at least once or twice @ year.

In an interview with Capt. F. S Ingalls,, this week, we learned that about fifty per cent. of the Ramie roots, put into the ground at his farm below town some months ago, have produced plants which are now thriy- ing Owing to the fact that the roots were planted just preceding the excep. tional cold spell, they did not germi- nate at once, and, possibly owing to too'mueh irrigation, number routed in the ground. The root is a rapid grower, however, putting out new plants at regular intervals, and by next season' Capt. Ingalls, will have, at least four times>the acreage of Ramie he has now.

FUNERAL FIRES ACROSS
 THE COLORADO.

From time immemorial the Yuma Indians have cremated their dead. The custom is so old and time-honored amongst them that no Indians mem
 ory runneth to the contrary. It is to
 the "manner born," but whether more
 "honored in the breach than in the observance" is quite questionable, since
 they only do in more expeditions way
 what Rome, Greece, and Carthage did
 thousands of years ago. This custom among the Yumas, like customs amongst all historical nations, must have had it's origin in a cause. The
 Egyptians embalmed their dead kings at first, then the nobles, then the pat ricians, and finally any plebian could find preservation that way if his friends had the means to "set lem up in row" in either crypt, mausoleum, or pyramid. The Romans and Greeks incinerated
 their dear departed for the purpose of
 preserving the ashes of the "loved and
 lost" in urns as a constant reminder that love and the affections of the heart should outlive the allotted period of human life. The Yumas no doubt have their legends and traditions as to this custom, but Time has so closely interwoven his mists and obscurities into it that the warp and wool of the habit are now indistinguishable. The cause was probably vi,ulent plague, which swept away myriads of victims daily, such as that Bocaccio describes as depopulating Florence and other cities of Italy; the London plague, or the yellow fever epidemics of New Or leans, Memphis, and other Southern cities. The Yumas at that time prob ably sought it's extermination by fire, while afflicted civilized nations bury the germs of disease with the victim and hand epidemics down as an inheri. tance to future generations.
 Lately an attack of measles has been playing sad havoc amongst the Yumas across the Colorado River, and nightly the red glare of the funeral pyre lights up the horizon all around the mountainous chain encircling their reservation. The scent of the burning flesh can be sensibly perceived in the atmosphere by any one in this city who has his olfactories exposed at the time. But with the dead dies every living thing belonging to the deceased. All other property likewise perishes. This obliteration of all earthly posses sions, of course, makes the Yumas the | poorest Indian race in America, and always will, unless they are Tn some way restrained in the exercise of their foolish custom. The belief is that this | immolation will appease the owls, the spirits of their dead, who will visit ] them forever in mournful hoetings un less the holocaust is made in all its hideous formr, without shade or vari- ation from that known to their fathers How long the fires will burn depends on the victims the dread reaper sends in, but let us hope they will soon learn to discard their medicine men and leave the white people an opportunity to save their lives in cases of epidem ics.
